OptiMATE SOLAR 80W

R4,289.00

OptiMATE Solar 12V charge & monitor system, the SMART 24-7 battery care solution powered by the sun.

The smart OptiMate Solar system includes a 80 Watt weatherproof solar panel and a smart OptiMate Solar combination charger-monitor controller, that charges & maintains a 12V battery during the day and monitors and displays the battery state of charge at night.
The solar panel’s wide spectrum poly-crystalline technology generates power even in low light, that the OptiMate controller converts into high current pulses more effective for charging and maintenance of a 12V battery. At night the smart controller turns into a battery monitor, providing battery information every 3 seconds on the easy to read 3 LED panel.

Charger by day, monitor by night, with battery information available 24-7!

Ideal for 12V lead-acid (AGM, GEL, STD) / deep cycle batteries found in the vehicles and craft above.

The smart charge controller automatically adjusts charge according to battery type and condition – OptiMate Solar’s smart control guarantees longer battery life and more battery power!

The controller’s fully automatic multi-step program brings the battery safely to full charge – Connect to the battery and OptiMate Solar 80W does the rest, no supervision required!

Converts low solar energy to efficient pulse charge.

DAY: Charge & maintain. NIGHT: monitor charge level.

Safe to leave connected. Full electronic protection.

Saves your ‘dead’ battery from as low as 1V.

Displays battery state of charge.

Energy saving technology.
√ Efficient dual conversion.
√ Complete 24-7 maintenance.

Works in any weather!

The OptiMate Solar DUO is suited for charging 12V lead acid and 12.8V / 13.2V Lithium (LifePO4 / LFP) batteries

OptiMate Solar DUO can charge and maintain the following battery types:
STD: 12V ‘wet’ cell / refillable lead-acid battery. Liquid acid can leak out if battery is turned on its side.
AGM: 12V sealed lead-acid battery, acid is fully contained within the battery. A 12V AGM battery holds a higher charged voltage than
STD lead-acid batteries.
GEL: 12V GEL sealed lead-acid battery, acid is fully contained within the battery. A GEL battery holds similar charged voltages to AGM.
LFP: 12.8V / 13.2V sealed Lithium Ferrous Phospate battery. Lithium batteries contain no acid. A LFP battery holds a higher charged
voltage than AGM / GEL.
Important – OptiMate Solar DUO is suitable ONLY for 4 series cell Lithium Ferrous Phosphate or Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE any other type of Lithium battery

MONITOR MODE – When the solar panel stops delivering power (sun has gone down in the evening or cloud covers sun) the
OptiMate Solar DUO controller changes to BATTERY MONITOR mode and will now indicate battery charge level every 3 seconds.
LED 2, 3, 4 or 5 indicate battery charge level.

CHARGE MODE – LED #1 lights if the solar panel can deliver charge. LED #1 flashes when charge current is delivered to the
battery. Speed of flashing corresponds to current delivered i.e. fast means high current, slow means low current (cloudy
conditions or battery is not accepting high current).
LED 2, 3, 4 or 5 indicate charge progress whilst CHARGE LED #1 is flashing. If no battery is connected only LED #1 turns on.

When is the battery charged?

If the battery is sufficiently charged, LED #4 or 5 will immediately light together with LED #1 (flashing).

If the battery needs further charging LED #2 or LED #3 will light together with LED #1 (flashing).
